You'll probably be more locked into programming with the CS route and the IT option will let you get into programming while also being more open in the future for project management, design, and planning. I personally think the IT degree would be more geared towards the higher level exec and may be easier to make bigger bucks in the long term, and possibly short term, if that's one of your factors. Find out if the IT program prepares you for the PMP or any other major cert, which could be very useful to you in the future.
It is possible to spoof email, MAC, and IP addresses, but I don't know the likelihood of being able to spoof the IP while participating in file sharing with bit torrent or limewire. It is also very possible to spoof caller id. Are these good arguments? I think there are enough holes in their statements to bring it into question, but this stuff is very technical and may be difficult to explain in court, although the MPAA is trying to do the same, albeit poorly.
In the video they are talking about how to comply with the law, not break it.
No, they are teaching companies what to do to make it look like they are complying with the laws when they have no intention of following the spirit of the law itself.
He may very well have a green card instead, I was assuming he has an H-1B, but I do know his specific opinion of citizenship as it pertains to him. I don't know a lot about H-1B's and these are the only two non-citizens I know working the programming/tech field. I'm currently working on a contract for a very large financial institution and all 50 of us have been local US citizens. I didn't know about the 7 year rule, but I do know he hasn't had any issues holding a job since he's been here and neither of them are working for what I would consider a discount rate.
the visa holders seem to mostly be using it as a stepping stone to citizenship
I don't think your sentiment is correct. I only know two people working here in the US on H-1B visas: one is from India and he's here for the short term to make money and send it home. He intends on permanently moving back to India, getting married, and settling down to raise a family in the next few years.
The other has been working in the US for over 15 years, has been married to a US citizen for 6 and has a 5 yo son with dual citizenship, and has no intention of becoming a US citizen because it's just too much of a pain in the ass and not worth it to him.
They are both honest people earing a living here for different reasons and purposes, but neither of them are doing so with the intent of citizenship or anything that comes close to what this law firm is trying to promote. I think the folks that get scooped in via a firm like this are the ones getting really screwed. The firm is doing this for the benefit of their clients, big companies, and they couldn't give a fuck about the H-1B worker at all.
Hopefully the government will actually do something about this. I hope this firm and their practices will help magnify the hypocrasy and stupidity of the current immigration debate.
Oh, one more thing, also check the buying guide before buying anything apple. Many a first time mac user has been upset when they didn't realize how soon the next model was coming out and they just miss a big update.
The xps 12" is 1199 and the similarly spec'd macbook is 1224. both have the same memory, hdd, and proc. The thing about apple is that they don't really sell low-end systems at all. Apple prices used to have much higher price tag, but that difference has really started to disappear over the last couple years. Ant in two years time, you'll be able to sell that macbook at twice what the xps would get. I'm not really sure why, but the used mac market is a totally different animal. I use that difference in my favor every year. Applecare on the system is 249, Dell's closest plan is 377 and only has 30 days phone support. Apple provides full phone support for all 3 years under applecare.
I buy a new one each year and rotate the systems on a two year basis mainly due to the fact that I'm a geek, like to have the latest and greatest, get a decent discount, and the discount helps reinforce and justify the purchases in conjunction with the high resale values macs have. It's entirely your decision, I'm not telling you what to do, but people that switch, even hardcore programmers and geeks, find themselves better off and the cost difference worth it. The trick about support is if you need it, it's there and apple is very highly regarding in that respect, Dell is not. The best part about apple support is that they answer their phone pretty quickly, speak clear English and will assist with even dumbest questions instantly- I would say a lot of issues where you spend time screwing around with trying to search for an answer, they can provide it much more quickly and easily. I'd also much rather pay twice as much once than to assume I'll have to spend that amount twice and migrate and re-setup a system- I want to just work and Apple's offer that in spades. I personally always recommend my clients buy the extended service plan for any closed system from any vendor- the costs of those plans has gone down significantly over the years and cost of parts and service have sky-rocketed. I can usually fix it myself, but I simply don't have time and prefer to just have it taken care of, even if there is a small expense involved.
1) better support
2) better design and a functional os
3) a machine which will last you 2-3 times longer
4) ??????
5) profit!
I bought my first mac in 02 and now I buy one every year- I alternate getting a new laptop/desktop each year and sell the old one at a much higher rate than I could ever get rid of a pc, which heavily subsidizes my upgrades. I'm also a perpetual student and take advantage of the once a year education discount on a new mac. I just can't see myself ever buying a system that isn't made by Apple. Once you have one, you'll be hooked for any number of reasons. The fact that they now have Intel processors makes it all the more reason due to the simplicity in using a wider variety of operating systems.
It now makes more sense than ever to buy a Mac and the price difference really isn't that much when you look a the quality, support, and resell value. A used Dell is basically a doorstop at any price.
Hell no, I'm just patiently waiting to get my hands on one where it doesn't require me to sell my soul. I want one as much as I always have, but there is no way in hell I'll get it through walmart. So I wait.....
that follows some of the other lines of thinking with the current administration- if we can't find pedophiles, we'll just create them with silly laws and they'll fall into our laps. The same system is currently being used to turn us all into terrorists.
there's a 17 yo kid in GA that recently got a mandatory 10 year sentence for receiving a blowjob from a 15 yo girl. if he'd fucked her, it would only be a 1 year. he was having a party with friends and a girl he'd never seen before walked into their hotel room and started blowing him- he didn't ask for an id, but he did break the state's anti-sodomy law regarding teens and he will be labeled as a sex offender for the rest of his life. too many links to provide- just google Genarlow Wilson
actually, my fiance and I use the service from our county assessor's website while we look for houses because it's often a more direct and closer shot than what you find on real estate sites, especially for newpaper ads. of course, this is nothing new.
They've been doing this in a lot of areas for a long time. Here in the chicago area, the cook county assessor's office will show you the front view of almost any building if you know the address. I'm sure this is nothing new, especially for highly populated areas. This company of couse could offer to provide updated photos, but the service itself has already been here.

has the tag line 'progressive law' all over the place. I would suggest replacing the word 'progressive' with 'breakin' the'
yes, exactly what I would recommend starting with.
here's a rocketboom on dotsub about dotsub and how it works.

Dude, how long have you lived in a vacuum?
that must really suck!

so, assuming this is true, which stock would be the best investment at this time? pixr is close to $60 right now and dis is about $25. thanks!
so that they can have their own private stash?
I would!!!
this matter is being thoroughly handled by a religious site. seems very appropriate.
